Predictive value of the angiogenic test (sFlt / PIGF ratio) in hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. Perinatal results in Cienfuegos by Vivian Rosa Vázquez Martínez, Cristóbal Jorge Torres González, Greter Torres Vázquez

“…<br /><strong>Results</strong>: the angiogenic test was positive more frequently in those pregnant women who developed eclampsia preeclamsia, with 90.7% vs. 9.3% in those who did not develop eclampsia preeclamsia (p = 0.000); as well as those less than 34 weeks of gestational age who developed pre-eclampsia (72%), with high sensitivity and specificity. The use of the test in the follow-up of the patients was associated with a tendency to prolong the pregnancy. …”
